A Brazilian In... Berlin & Copenhagen

Mayra Magalhaes

Vice: Hey, girl from Brazil, how long have you been in Berlin?

Mayra:

Straight to Berlin?

What was your first impression of the city?

So whereabouts in Brazil did you grow up?

Don’t you find Berlin boring by comparison?

What’s up with São Paulo? I heard it’s even more full-on than Rio.

What do you do out here for work?

Three things you would bring from Brazil to Berlin: Go.

Last question: Germans still seem obsessed with the exoticism of Brazil. Have you ever been to one of Germany’s Brazilian samba parties?

Karina Da Silva Zaun

Vice: What are you doing here?

Karina:

How so?

Why is that?

Is there a big transsexual community in Brazil?

Wow, any other trade secrets?

That doesn’t sound very safe.

So you’re better off in Denmark?

What about people in general, how are Danes different from Brazilians?

It sounds like you miss Brazil a lot.

No more prostitution then?

No.
